The College Board has designed a series of courses that are designed to prepare students for success in their studies at college and for specific college course equivalent exams. Students are invited to take Advanced Placement courses and need to be prepared for the extensive work required in the courses. When an AP course is listed more than once on the chart, it can be taken in any grade level listed with it. AP courses earn a weighted credit of plus 1. Successful performance on the AP course exam may earn college credit based on the policies of the college chosen by the student.
The AP exam schedule is available online.
